[Okay, by Thursday morning he's been talked off the worst of his drama by a few people, but he's still in this sort of strange mood that he got in around Wednesday evening.
You know that look when you maybe drank way too much coffee and pulled an all nighter and you're exhausted but haven't come down from it yet? Basically it's that. Zuko can probably find him pacing around town or sitting near the Planetarium with kind of an over-focused look and the sense that he just turned in his essay and isn't sure what to do with himself now.]
[ there's no emotionshare anymore but it doesn't take a super perceptive genius to see something's up. zuko abandons what he was doing to come check on him. ]
[That wasn't what he was worried about at all! He's just rude now. Fine, he won't take away the kigurumi, but he can see his arm. It's sprained basically from doing stupid dramatic boy things.]

What happened?
no subject
[What was Zuko in the middle of, though. Was he playing phone games.]
It's. . . it's fine now. [Is it?]
no subject
What is? What are you talking about?
no subject
I got upset yesterday and tried to get home. [Oh yeah, it's hard to tell in frog kigu, but his arm looks kind of fucked up. He's holding it weird.]
But now I understand that we can't go home yet, so I'll have to wait until then.
no subject
What happened?
[ he's definitely trying to look at the arm too... ]
no subject
[Rude! Pulling away a little. He's a rude boy now, Zuko.]
no subject
[ trying hard to check!! let him see it binch ]
no subject
I had to try. Or, I thought I did. But it's pointless, so. . . I'll just have to wait.
no subject
[ he's not at that point yet but ]
Shigeo, show your arm.
no subject
[He's not showing him!]
no subject
[ because that's what he's worried about, right ??? ]
no subject
It doesn't hurt. I don't feel things this week.
no subject
It'll hurt when the week is over, so let me help.
Why were you trying to leave so badly? What did you remember?
no subject
[He can help, since he isn't like, angry at Zuko or anything, but he isn't going to make any effort about it because he doesn't care.]
. . . Do you remember when I told you about my home burning down?
no subject
Yeah. Did you remember what happened?
no subject
[Hmm. How to put this.]
I always remembered, but someone told me it was okay. And I realize now that they were lying.
I really have to get home, but - !!
no subject
[ squinting for more deets, though ]
no subject
[Yeah, he knew that. He just forgot about that.]
That's right. So I still have time. I just. . . I just don't know if I can stay like this.
